Pickrel Weed Too Tall For The Priority box...............

Pocahontas, TN(Zone 7b)

I had 3 people wanting this plant but all the sections are really big. I plucked off the smallest section and had one heck of a time getting it boxed up.

Notice those lovely variegated leaves. I was determined to ship a plant with a couple of those leaves and a bloom. I broke the best bloom when I was getting it out of the water and one of the leaves, poo. I laid the plant on the longest box I had to see if it would fit.....dang!!!

If you onto the United States Postal Service website they have longer triangle tubes that work great for this type of thing. I get all my boxes online there for free with free shipping - I order a whole set the smallest ammount of each box and then keep them for my trades. Just a thought!

We have deer in the front yard but they don't come around to the back were all the plants are, because the dogs hang around out back.. "strays that came to stay" lol lol
